Hans Kelsen and the Case for Democracy is a contextual analysis of
this famous jurist's political thought. Kelsen's works are usually
reduced to his theory of law, and his reflections on democracy are
often ignored. The great strength of Kelsen's political thinking
lies in the largely original arguments that it musters against the
critics who condemn or debunk the institutions of parliamentary
democracies. This study assesses Kelsenian democratic theory by
exploring three questions: first, how is Kelsen's political theory
intertwined with his legal theory? Second, how does Kelsen combine
his reflections on the democratic ideal with his appreciation of a
reality that more often than not quite distant from that ideal?
Third, how does Kelsen conceive of the sources of the state's
cohesion in a democracy?
